Hubby and I love your channel ā¤
Unfortunately, it would cost me a couple of thousand to grow peppers in 5 gallon containers. Then again, I have over 200 started indoors. I'm working on a set of garden beds I messed up last year with heavy mulch and I'm going to re-establish a perennial living mulch to deal with fertility and bugs. Clovers, mints, lemonbalm, thyme, etc… and I'm figuring out how to plant stuff in that. I'm convinced I could commercially grow wheat with no fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides or fungicides. The only thing I add are compost and aerated compost tea.
As for seed starting/potting soil, I've found that finding some sugar sand and mixing it shovel for shovel with quality compost works great, but I have enough room to set up compost piles where I can put dead animals in it safely.
My peppers done so awesome last year in the Calikim 5 gallon smartpotsā¦.i got 20plus peppers from each potā¦. So much better than the year before which was no peppers š¢ā¦.then again they wasnāt in a smartpots either!!!
Graet tips!
Good kim can I grow potatoes in my smartpots if I can what size do I useā¤š
I bet to differ on the 5 gallon buckets. I use them every season with plenty of drilled holes for drainage and I grow some monster sized pepper plants . Just a big lie to sell your fabric pots
Great info, thanks!
Iāve tried fabric pots but unfortunately they donāt work for me here in Australia. With our hot dry summers they just dry out too quickly so Iāve had to go back to plastic. Your peppers look beautiful Cali š
I wish you wouldn't make fake thumbnails like this. It's misleading.
Mam super inf ššš
I like your vido ššš¹š¹
I live in a northern climate so utilize a greenhouse and temperatures are mostly in the range you refer to. I use a soil moisture meter. I tried sweet pickle(Christmas tree)sweet peppers. I got lots of healthy looking foliage but not a single blossom. Any thoughts?
I have tons of smart pots. Unfortunately, there are so many people who like gardening and growing veggies. But the 5 gallon buckets are all they can afford.
Great tips.
I will be trying the Epsom salt this year for my peppers. Do you use it on any other vegetables?
I would like to try the purple pepper, Kim. I'll get some started soon. Thanks for the tips.
